Let them! My sister-in-law went through this with her son and he was the same age. She gave him her blessings and told him to keep in touch, but now that he felt he was independent enough to go out on his own he was welcome to come visit, but NO hand-outs. Trust me, your 17 year old will get a taste of reality (won't be able to afford the rent, food, paying bills, etc.) and will first try to bum money off you (don't give it to them) and may come home for you to do THEIR laundry (don't do it.) Expect them later to come for dinner often! Don't allow it! Tell them they didn't call first and there is only enough for the family. The other trick is going to the fridge at your home as they use to do and it's up to you to tell them they no longer live there so they have no right going into the fridge without your permission. Let them get reality shoved up their nose and your 17 year old will be back before you know it. Play it calm and cool and only remind them you love them and they are welcome to come visit and if they choose to come back they have to live under your house rules.
